META TOPICPARENT name="CmsSlhc"
We are designing a microTCA module called the DTC (DAQ and Timing Card) for the HCAL SLHC readout. It is currently envisioned that this will occupy one of the MCH slots in a dual-star type crate. Initially we would build cards for MCH connectors 1 and 2, providing clock distribution on finger 2, and fast controls and trigger feedback on port 1 of fabric A on finger 1.
